Presidio San Ignacio de Tubac

In 1775 and 1776, de Anza escorted 240 colonists from Horcasitas, Sonora, to Monterey, California, and then to San Francisco Bay, where he selected sites for the mission, presidio and settlement.

The presidio of Tubac was resettled in the 1880s and by the 1886 surrender of Geronimo, the Apache were no longer a threat to settlers in that part of Arizona.
